Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist supermoto that rewards riders who already have some experience with light, quick-turning bikes and a single-cylinder power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a road-going supermoto (17-inch wheels, single big disc brakes, minimal weight), it's designed for flickable cornering and urban attack riding rather than long-distance touring or genuine off-road work.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight and tall, narrow build make it easy to muscle around at low speed despite the fairly tall seat height.
CharacterRaw and mechanical in feel, with a thumping single-cylinder engine, race-style suspension, and a stripped-down, no-frills attitude.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders wanting wind protection, passenger comfort, long highway miles, or serious off-road capability given its road-biased 17-inch tyres.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
